Lottie's Brother (larry au)

6

Harry couldn't help himself as he scrolled through Louis's Instagram for the third time since he was accepted.

Louis had exactly twenty posts on his page, out of those twenty; ten of them were selfies. Harry was living his best life right now as he stared at the picture of a Louis that had just woken up from sleeping and obviously already looked perfect and captured the moment. He even found the little "bed head" caption so endearing.

His smile was wide and almost hurt from how much he had been smiling. Of course there were photos he didn't like, like the three out of the twenty which included Eleanor.

One of the photos of the couple was of Eleanor and Louis after one of his basketball games and they're posing together with the caption "had a good game tonight lads!".

The next photo was of them at the beach Eleanor in her small bikini and Louis in his swim trunks also shirtless and, Harry was trying to stay focused on that and not on the caption that read "beach with this cutie" it was hard to ignore the way his heart clenched.

Finally, the last one was the most recent one and it was at some party, probably a high school party he's surrounded by his friends but also Eleanor is dangling off of him and Louis is holding her waist.

Harry frowns but moves on to the picture of Louis and the smallest twins Ernest and Doris. The last picture Louis posted was last week and it was of him and some of his friends after a basketball game.

He finally left the app and promised himself to get to sleep because tomorrow was Louis's basketball game and he already told Niall he would go with him.

The next day Harry arrived at school just as Louis and Lottie pulled into Louis's parking spot. Harry is suppose to be annoyed with Louis about how he ditched him yesterday entirely to make out with Eleanor but that's his girlfriend he has to remind himself, and he can't even be mad when Louis looks the way he does.

Lottie ran up to him and wrapped her thin arms around him. She was in a way better mood than yesterday.

Louis waved at the younger boy about to walk over to him when he was called over by one of his mates. Harry waved back excited that Louis was going to come over to talk to him and then disappointed when Louis waves again but this time as a goodbye.

"Hey, guess what?" Lottie says as she noticed the interaction between the two boys.

"What?" Harry asks genuinely curious to know what his friend had to say.

"Louis talked about you this morning." Lottie smiled big as she spoke those words. Harry almost screamed and his heart was beating rapidly because Louis actually talked about HIM.

"What did he say?" Harry asks with so much interest if he were a dog his ears would've perked up.

"He said and I quote 'Harry is such a lad, we had a good time yesterday..why didn't you tell me he was cool? I feel bad I didn't give him a ride yesterday, is he okay?' and that was it." Lottie said trying to speak like Louis but failing miserably as she quoted him.

"Lottie no, I'm suppose to be moving on why is he so cute." Harry groaned and looked up at the sky wishing it would suck him in and give him his happy ending with Louis.

"What? Why are you trying to move on, I thought we were making plans to make Louis fall for you?" Lottie asked she felt so out of the loop with Harry's mind.

"Because Lottie he literally probably had sex with her yesterday and he's obviously straight, and only likes me as a friend. I'm just already tired... Lottie it hurts to see him with someone else." Harry's voice starts off a bit loud but by the end, it's so soft Lottie almost doesn't catch it.
